First-Ever EXPERIENCEit Manchester Unveils Dynamic Speaker Line‑Up

The UK’s event sector is celebrating a major milestone as the first cohort of security apprentices prepares to graduate on 14 July 2025 at Excel London. This marks the initial phase of an expanded event apprenticeships programme, now officially including security roles alongside its traditional offerings in operations, marketing, and logistics.

Developed in partnership with event industry bodies, training providers, and employers, the enhanced apprenticeship tracks aim to address rising demand for skilled security professionals at festivals, conferences, and live venues. Apprentices gained real-world experience in crowd management, risk assessment, and on-site safety protocols—crucial expertise in today's events landscape.

The graduation ceremony promises to highlight the achievements of these pioneering apprentices, offer networking opportunities, and encourage more businesses to invest in the expanded apprenticeship framework. This initiative is expected to strengthen the talent pipeline for security roles, supporting safer and more professional event delivery across the UK.

By celebrating security alongside other event specialties, the programme reinforces industry-wide recognition of the vital role security professionals play in creating successful and secure events. Early signs indicate growing employer interest, and the next intake of security apprentices is already in planning.
